Luke Shaw made his United comeback from the bench at half-time and will be pushing to be included in the squad against the Saints.

Manager Jose Mourinho could give a clue as to the likelihood of that when he addresses the media today, when there could also be an update on the injury status of Paul Pogba, who is sidelined with a hamstring problem. Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and defender Marcos Rojo remain sidelined through long-term injury problems.

Fosu-Mensah on loan ahead of City clash

United loanee Timothy Fosu-Mensah faces Man City with Crystal Palace tomorrow and has been talking to the Palace website about his loan.

He said:

“I am using the opportunity to get game time in the Premier League and gain more experience, I am keeping in contact with Manchester United and I know that their coaching staff are monitoring my progress so I am just hoping all goes well for me.

“It was tremendous to get the opportunity to make my debut last month for the Netherlands and I am just looking to build my international career on from there and hopefully be a regular in the team. There is a lot of competition for places but we all know that is what it is like in this game and I am ready for the challenge.“

Pellegrino on his Liverpool connections ahead of United clash

The Southampton manager isn’t trying to get one over on United for Liverpool’s sake.

He said:

“This is part of my history as a player and as a first coach with Rafa Benitez in Liverpool,” he said. “For me they (Liverpool and United) are two of the biggest teams in England, in the world.

“But for me my challenge is to try to prepare my team as best as possible to try to win the game.

“I don’t have any relationship with Liverpool.”

Here’s the full quote:

“I have no idea,” Mourinho said. “No idea. But, again, it’s a great opportunity for other players to play and I trust them all, so I’m not going to cry or be counting the days until Pogba comes back, not at all.

“When he comes back, welcome, but until then, I trust my people.”

Southampton team news

Mourinho's 'know how' is key

Former United academy graduate Danny Higginbotham reckons it’s going to be a tight Premier League race - but thinks his old club have the advantage of Jose Mourinho’s experience.

He said:

I think Mourinho has got the know-how. Go back a couple of seasons ago when they [Chelsea] were level with Manchester City, it was style and substance when the season was starting. Come the end of the season Chelsea won the league by eight points. Manchester City scored a lot more goals than them, but Chelsea conceded a lot less. Mourinho knows what it takes in the Premier League.

It’s going to be very interesting but, without doubt, the two best teams in the Premier League.

Mrs Martial

Anthony Martial’s partner is rocking a very bold top on Instagram. I’m sure her point of view is that Martial should start every game.

Martin Keown talking nonsense

“Guardiola came into town. Prior to that it seemed as though Giggs was being lined up for the job at Old Trafford.

“When Guardiola came in, they went, ‘We want Mourinho in’. We shouldn’t be surprised by it.”

United's next seven fixtures will reveal how far they have come

United fly 181 miles to Southampton before a 1,582-mile journey to Moscow as they look to maintain their strong start in the Premier League and Champions League.

And while the short journey to Liverpool is a more straightforward logistical challenge, Jurgen Klopp’s side will surely give United their toughest test of the season despite their mixed start.

United are then back in the air, again, to fly 1,072 miles to Lisbon before a welcome 29-mile journey up the M62 to Huddersfield and then, finally, a 147-mile flight to Swansea.

United monitoring left-back options

On the recent claim that United had a scout in attendance to watch Kieran Tienery this week, it’s worth reminding that United retain an interest in Danny Rose even though he is still out injured.

From Spurs’ perspective, a swap might work. Shaw arguably has a higher ceiling, would be back down south and under a manager who he remains in touch with, while United get a player who clearly wants to join them, move back up north, has shown better Premier League form in recent years and supplanted Shaw in the England team. Both sides can spin it positively.
